Castello Pallotta, Castle and museum in Caldarola, Italy.
The fortress stands on Mount Colcù, featuring Renaissance architecture with a drawbridge, moat, fortified towers, and a courtyard surrounded by decorated halls.
Cardinal Evangelista Pallotta transformed the 9th-century military structure into a summer residence during the late 1500s, hosting Pope Clement VIII and Queen Christina of Sweden.
The interior displays period furnishings, weapons, ceramics, and a library containing valuable incunabula alongside paintings documenting papal visits to the castle.
Twenty rooms remain accessible to visitors, including the carriage hall, armory, kitchen with terracotta pottery, and a chapel containing 16th-century decorations.
The castle's restoration in 1885 preserved original elements while introducing new features, such as custom-forged ironwork created from natural-size drawings for regional authenticity.
